[SOLVED] Won't Boot After Changing Msconfig Memory Settings

[Damedius]

My computer seemed sort of sluggish so I searched for a solution online. I found a suggestion to use msconfig advanced settings and change memory to max.

After restarting my computer keeps dumping memory. It now only has repair and normal after crashing the first time, no safe mode. Repair can't find anything and it says there is no restore point or image to recover.

what version of Windows are you running?

 

[Damedius]

Windows 7

Just to add some more details. It crashes after the Windows Logo to a blue screen.

first try <F8> during reboot.
try to boot to last known good config.

if that doesn't work:

Try a Windows 7 Repair Install, it sounds a bit scary but you're reinstalling Windows while keeping your data and changes.
if you have your original install CD (or can get a hold of a similar copy)

It looks like you're doing a clean install but remember to select Upgrade when the time comes... you're essentially upgrading your system with your originally O/S
